2014 Audi A4 Review and Test Drive 

I mean... it's an official audi channel.

+Admiral Ackbar Ha ha, no Shitte. I was about to post a similar comment until I read yours which says it all.

+Admiral Ackbar exactly why i gave a thumbs down

Well I own one and I think it’s a great car, but yea there are a few small things I’d change. The first being that there is no dipstick “over engineering” at its finest.

I also wish mine had the S4 style steering wheel

Thanks Jonathan!

Hey Jonathan... I am looking to buy this car sometime soon. But, online forums messing with my mind about how the car starts to break down after 25-20k miles. Have you had to spend a lot on maintenance?

I was having a bad adjective day :)

at least you stopped after the first few minutes hahaha

Ooh, I love the B5. I had a '97 :)

I have a 2000 B5 and I just bought a 2014 B8 my two favorite cars

just got mine today. great car

*Benz #sassymv

Benzos are crap

I have to disagree. I own an A4 and it is quicker and more responsive while having the same interior quality as my friends E350(a class higher).

OfficialAudiMV hahahhahaha slay

I guess you have never seen a jaguar, bentley or a rolls royce.

I heard 2011 and up, is better. You'll have less problems.

Wow, thanks! That's a great compliment :)

You're welcome!

Thanks Pat, comparing our review to TopGear is a huge compliment!

Have you seen this Audi...

OfficialAudiMV please reply

Edward - I had one myself; I loved it.

Shina, with a new $299 lease price on A4s at our dealership we can probably make that happen for you (and ship it anywhere). Take a look: www.audimv.com/global-incentives-search/2014-Audi-A4-Sedan-Offers-US2014AUD142bdf21cbb7b13f7a530cb.htm

oh my gosh thank you for this comment

Thanks! My family is full of Audi owners; I've had three in a row - my sister two, my Dad two... once they're under your skin it's hard to switch!

It's actually music produced by Audi AG in Germany.

Marcel, keen observation - the Haldex system has been used in Audis for the previous generation TT and A3s and has proven its worth when a smaller engine bay and a transverse layout is required. Although it is not the longitudinal "Torsen" or "Crown-Gear" systems found on the latest models, the Haldex system is no slouch when it comes to traction demand. That being said, it is a great reason to upgrade to the Audi A6, which shares the same 2.0T motor as the A4 and does use a longitudinal layout. The A6 has a starting price that is still competitive with the A4; check out our A6 video here: 2014 Audi A6 Review

the A4 has a traditional permanent torsen 4wd. Im surprised AudiMV did not correct you on this.

Dwight Cosby I want to get the Audi A4 2015 for my first car. Is that fine? Also get the 2014 or 2015? The 2014 kinda looks better.

With either the 2014 or 2015, you are getting a well engineered vehicle. Get the Quattro and at this point, get the best between the two for your money.

Dwight Cosby did u get it

Fucking on yo bitch early morning Sunday

Thank You - lots of research, lots of editing! Our blooper reel is probably three or four days long by now.

Yogesh X do you think it’s good for a first car ?

fuck bmw

@@freek4495 thats why she don’t want you

Jair, we have a pair of 2008s in stock: goo.gl/Ut77FM. We can ship them anywhere!

I drive 328i but the a4 is far more comfy on the inside, and much sexier on the outside. But 328i has around 20hp more than the a4, along with torque specs. But its a little sacrifice for the luxury you get.

BavarianMWfan Thank's for the added thoughts! I do love the 328i, my cousin's 2013 is a fantastic car that definitely hauls when you hit the gas.

innercry - if you were on a ground so flat and smooth that a marble wouldn't roll, the steering wheel should be straight and your A4 would drive in a straight line forever. In the real world though, our roads are angled on purpose. It's called "crowning" - the center of the road is slightly higher than the right or left side of the road so that when it rains the water rolls off the asphalt instead of pooling up (which can cause hydroplaning and chaos). The side effect that we drivers get is that our cars want to veer slightly away from the center of the road. It's hard to gauge to what degree your roads are crowned, but there is a bit of leeway built into the alignment tolerances that a technician must follow when aligning your Audi. It's a judgement call - but at the end of the day if you feel you're driving more or less straight and your steering wheel is cocked to one side while you drive that's not right. You want the wheel right-side-up and the car going in a straight line (maybe veering a touch away from center). Hope this helps!

Hi.With the car on a flat piece of road, no camber, tyre pressures all correct the car needs the steering wheel to be off center by quite a margin for the car to steer straight. In fact it has been proven bu Audi that with the suspension alignment perfectly within tolerance the car will steer to the left with the steering wheel straight or move the steering wheel one spline to the left on the steering column and the car steers to the right with the steering wheel straight! Looking at the car it is fairly obvious there is an mis-alignment between the chassis and the subframe therefore it appears to be a manufacturing flaw and the output of this is the steering wheel being off center. The car also has many trim rattles and suffers quite bad wind noise. I was told by Audi that this was because the A4 Black Edition car is not a very refined car! Talk about scrambling for excuses. The car is fundamentally flawed. Unfortunately it has been a painful ownershipe experience since taking delivery of the car from new. The Audi dealership have not being willing to recognise there is any problem with the car which I raised within 5 weeks of receiving the car and it has taken another dealership to at least acknowledge there is an issue over a year later! However, now the explanations from Audi are on 'wear and tear' which is frankly ludicrous! The Audi ownership experience is not one I can recommend.Hence why I called it a feature as it seems I'm either stuck with a car that doesn't drive straight or I suffer a huge financial loss and sell the car. I would also like to add that I have driven many A4s previously with no issues and a 2013 A6 3.0 TDI Quattro which had no steering issues that mine demonstrates. As a side note I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering so I'm quite familiar with physics and forces etc so have a good understanding of how a car will behave on cambered roads, particualrly with wide section tyres, but having compared my A4 with others on the same roads it doesn't require this level of education to understand the differences and therefore the problem that mine exhibits. Unfortunately Audi have been unwilling to listen...

YEAH DUDE ,just bring you re TV in it it will sure be bigger..after all that s all cars are about

Too 70's?

zigga, I so rarely see a manual come on our lot :( Most Southern California drivers are commuting all the time (Orange County is so spread out) and we stock automatics, typically ordering manuals for our select enthusiast clients. I have driven the manual before and the only commentary I have is that they are buttery-smooth, but the throw is a little long for my taste; I like a shorter-shift for quicker action. However, the automatic dual-clutch system (like goes in the S4) is unbelievably fast and there's no way you could beat it with a manual - it's definitely worth a drive.

Keep an eye out for the new 2015 Audi A3 - starts at $29,900. Otherwise use the link in the video description to look at some of our Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.

Charleston, great observations - yes, the A4 (Audi calls it the "B Segment" - we're currently on the B8) is in what is undoubtedly the hottest and most contested segment of the market. You can see that the A4 and its competitors turn over their designs and technology faster than any other model, simply because of the volume! It usually takes 4-6 years to redevelop and update a model line and I know that Audi has a product vision that spans well past 2020. In fact, the auto blogs out there are already buzzing about the B9 Audi A4 having been spied. I can't say what Model Year it will go into production, but I woulnd't be surprised if the Audi engineers didn't have some MPG tricks up their sleeves :)

why ...

We currently do not carry any Stasis products.
